Fluidized Bed Dryer
Fluidized bed dryers suspend particles in an upward stream of hot air, maximizing heat and mass transfer for fast, uniform drying of granules and powders at continuous or batch scale.
ZLG-Horizontal Vibrating Fluidized Bed Dryer
Categories: Convection Dryer, Fluidized Bed Dryer, Vibrating Dryer
Continuous Drying Solution for Granular Materials:
Operating on the principle of fluidization combined with vibration, the Vibrating Fluid Bed Dryer processes granules by circulating them on heated air that dries them evenly. This approach minimizes surface damage, prevents pollution thanks to its enclosed design, and gives granules time to settle — facilitating stable, continuous production.
- Input:
- Granules with moisture content < 20%
- Output:
- Granules with 1%–5% moisture content
- Temperature:
- Inlet air temperature < 200°C
- Additional Feature:
- Cooling
FG-Vertical Fluidized Bed Dryer
Categories: Convection Dryer, Fluidized Bed Dryer
Solution for Batch Drying of Granules and Powder:
The Vertical Fluid Bed Dryer fluidizes materials with an upward air stream that promotes contact for quick drying or cooling. Designed specifically for batch production, it allows taller bed heights than horizontal fluidized bed dryers and is commonly paired with wet granulation machines.
- Input:
- Powders and Granules, moisture < 20%
- Output:
- Powders and Granules, moisture 3%–5%
- Temperature:
- Inlet air temperature < 100°C
- Additional Feature:
- Convertible to a spray fluidized bed granulator
XF-Horizontal Fluidized Bed Dryer
Categories: Convection Dryer, Fluidized Bed Dryer
Versatile Continuous Drying for Granules and Powder:
The Horizontal Fluidized Bed Dryer aerates damp materials with an upward air stream to dry or cool them. Built for continuous manufacturing, it offers residence times from a few seconds to minutes, ensuring effective processing.
- Input:
- Powders and Granules, moisture < 20%
- Output:
- Powders and Granules, moisture 3%–5%
- Temperature:
- Inlet air temperature < 100°C
- Additional Feature:
- Cooling
GFG-Vertical Blending Fluidized Bed Dryer
Categories: Convection Dryer, Fluidized Bed Dryer
Fluidized Bed Drying with Built-In Mixing:
The Vertical Blending Fluidized Bed Dryer is equipped with a mixing mechanism that helps form a fluidized bed inside the vessel when handling heavy loads. Ideal for mass production, it can process thick materials and is typically paired with wet granulation setups.
- Input:
- Powder and Granules, moisture < 20%
- Output:
- Powder and Granules, moisture 3%–5%
- Temperature:
- Inlet air temperature < 100°C
- Additional Feature:
- Stirring, Cooling
Vertical, Horizontal and Blending Fluidized Bed Designs
SINOTHERMO's fluidized bed dryer range includes vertical (FG) and horizontal (XF) beds for straightforward continuous drying, a vertical blending design (GFG) that mixes as it dries, and the vibrating horizontal bed (ZLG) that adds mechanical assist to fluidization — all suspending particles in hot air for fast, uniform heat transfer.
Matching Bed Configuration to Product and Layout
Vertical beds (FG) suit compact installations with straightforward batch or continuous drying needs. Horizontal beds (XF) suit longer residence times and larger continuous throughput. The blending design (GFG) is useful when materials need mixing alongside drying to prevent segregation. Vibrating assist (ZLG) helps with materials prone to uneven fluidization or caking.
